Hair

I pick up my dress finnaly this week so once i have it i have to start figuring out how to wear my hair. i am  little lost but here are some ideas. I don't really care for veils but i somewhat like this very traditional veil. But i think i would end up just feeling suffocated haha

 Fresh gardenias

The last three clips were from the etsy shop twigs and honey. they are really pretty but kinda expensive

Shoe clips

I dont have shoes yet but these are sorta interesting

Showers of happiness

Flowers

The boutineeres will look like this, those stupid feathers were nearly impossibelt to find by the way but i finally found them on etsy for cheaper than i expected to pay. Too bad that was 10 trips to Michaels later

I love the softness and garden look to this boquet. i will be mixing creams and whites in my homemade mercury glasses for the centerpieces. So far there will be mini and regular roses, antique hydrangea,  ranunculas, and eucalyptus in the centerpieces. We may be using some jasmine and ivy as well. Here are is some of my mercury glass inspiration

More cake

My runner up cake that I love, and some other perfect looking cakes that I considered.

In a perfect world I would have 10 different cakes

Photography

I was flipping through a magazine and saw these advertisements for Justin Alexander wedding dresses. I am excited to see how our pictures will come out on the Queen Mary. Our photographer is Tegyn Friedman, and she is also the photographer for our friends Meagan and Jared.Check her blog to see her lovely pictures http://tegynfriedmanphotography.com/blog/

Bridesmaid dresses

Here they are! After a long search for something somewhat flattering dress in a decent color, this is what I found. I am having them made in black in the long lengthe and everyone can wear whatever black heels or shoes they like. I think it would look best if everyone dressed it up with some kind of statement jewlery. Wear your hir and make up however you like best and twist the dress into whichever style suits you.

After changing my mind a dozen or so times I decided that the black will look formal and will be a lot nicer than making everyone wear pink!

I will also have a bandeau made out of the same material to wear underneath the dress, hope you like it!

Cake

My two favorite cakes among many are these two. Stephen loves doughnuts so his surprise grrom cake will be the tiered doughnut masterpiece in the third picture. I think i will be using chocolate frosted doughnuts with one large ribbon... I will also leave out the figurines having sex
